He doesn't think Khamzat has been wrestling since he was five?!? 😂 Sure, if it was a wrestling match Bo might well win but now he is competing in MMA, a sport which Khamzat definately has trained more in and before that he trained for sambo which is a LOT more like MMA than wrestling is.

Khamzat debuted at 185 and 10 days later fought short notice at 170, he can make weight. He has been wrestling since a child too, apparently Bo thinks he just started wrestling. He’s beaten several Olympic medalists. He’s also trained judo for decades. One thing Bo needs to learn is who his opponents are and what skill sets they’ve been practicing and for how long. Underestimating opponents like Khamzat is the easiest way to pick up your first L

Prior that fight we hadn’t seen too much of his striking game though and we didn’t really know that he could do that. Maybe Bo will surprise us as well. Either way I personally don’t want to see that fight until Bo has at least 3-4 fights against top 15 opponents

As of now, Bo is technically a nobody as far as Chimaev is concerned. Khamzat adressed the callouts and said "who is that boy" exactly the way he should. Stop over-hyping fighters and leading them into tough matchups too early and ruining their careers like Darren till and others. Bo has 0 fights in the UFC, he could go on and become the GOAT for all we know but let him build himself into these matchups.

What Bo is doing is great business work: market yourself, talk big, have the skills to back it up... That's a thing most people don't understand and they take stuff at face value, but if he actually believe that he can take on Khamzat this early? That'd be pretty funny. No way Khamzat agrees to fight a "nobody" in MMA when he's sitting on title fight opportunities and has the option to face top 5 opponents. With that aside, we still need to see how Bo does when he gets hit. What will he do when he can't take someone down? What if the fight goes on for 3 rounds? 4 rounds? 5 rounds? Not everyone can be Khamzat Chimaev, I'd be very impressed if this dude could face a top 3 in his fifth UFC fight and win.
